🩸the most toxic shit I have ever read, but by god do I love to read it
Ωmegaverse: part 1
soft, fluffy, adorable manhwas
Toxic Lite™ 🚧
🌽that's some good smut right there
short & smutty reads
the ✨angst✨ is so so good
🌟personal top tier
I know everyone's tolerance levels are different when it comes to this genre but there is a difference between 'the godawful poison leaking out of the crusty underbelly of Satan himself that some deranged soul went out, painstakingly collected, and then turned around and made into a manhwa for your reading pleasure' and 'your basic toxic bitch'. This list is just that, your basic bitch toxic situation. Nothing too horrible for it being yaoi but don't like... set your moral code by it.
(None of these are omegaverse because omegaverse is it's own brand of toxic and will require a separate list.)
